A native Texan, Beyoncé is one of the most honored artists by the Grammys and she has sold more than 25 million singles in the United States.

Back in June, Beyoncé told CNN, “I always said I would have a baby at 30.” She also added, “I was going to retire at 30.”

The singer will turn 30 this coming September.

In 2009 Jay-Z said on the Oprah Winfrey show of his marriage to Beyoncé, “When you live your life so out in the public, then your music and life are on display, however, you need to separate from it. You can’t be in that light all the time. You need some type of escape from it. And that’s one thing that is sacred and not in the public eye.”

This will be the first child for the power couple that has been married since 2008.
